Chapter 506： Powerful Pope's decree

()

() & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp While Marin was busy calculating Frederick III, Pope Julius II, who was far away in Rome, was not idle. He had long since received a secret letter from Archbishop Hermann IV of Cologne, naturally knowing what happened in Germany.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp At the beginning, Julius II was furious and felt that Frederick III was too fool. Therefore, Julius II initially wanted to punish Frederick III with the severe measure of "extreme punishment".

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp However, after calming down, Julius II gave up the idea. After all, it was not long before he became Pope. Moreover, Frederick III was also a leader in the German electoral princes. When he came up, he used absolute punishment against others, although he was able to kill Frederick III. However, the impact on yourself is not good.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp Anyway, the dispute between Marin and Frederick III was a princely hegemony within Germany. His Pope was not good because Frederick III targeted his son-in-law, Marin, to punish others.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp Moreover, there is no opposition within the Holy See. If he punished Frederick III for no reason, the opposition within the Holy See would be strong.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp Of course, it was aimed at secular princes, but for those religious princes, Julius II was easier to deal with. Because no matter which bishop or monastery in the German region is nominally a subordinate of the Holy See.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp For the subordinates, although Julius II could not "permanently punish" the perpetual motion, it was still easy to make a reprimand. The bishop of a bishopric country is also very face-saving. If he was reprimanded by the Pope for several times, his face would be lost.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp Moreover, if he has repeatedly challenged the pope as a superior, the pope can also use this as an excuse to impose a penalty. The Archbishop, who was issued a membership by the Pope, is bound to be miserable. The secular princes were sentenced to death, and most of them were united. No one was willing to work for them, almost as if they were betraying their relatives. As long as no one took the opportunity to send troops to destroy the country, the worldly princes who were exempted from punishment would still be his nobles. Because the secular aristocracy is stipulated by lineage and has nothing to do with religion.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp The archbishops of the bishoprics are different. The prerequisite for them to be the head of the bishopric is a priest. Because that is a religious country, it is impossible to let non-religious officials. If the Pope is expelled from the pope, the only end is to abdicate and get out. Therefore, the secular princes may fight against the Holy See, but the religious princes dare not dare.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp ...

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp After thinking over and over again, Julius II decided to issue an order to inform the German princes that Marin was a loyal supporter of the Holy See and an outstanding noble believer, bishop and monastery. It sent troops. Otherwise, you will be punished within the Holy See. In severe cases, it can be punished ... In addition, all religious princes, don't be fooled and instigated by irrelevant people, make irrational actions ...

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp When the oracle was delivered to Worms, it caused an uproar. This decree, almost nail-cut, shows that the Pope is openly on Marin's side. As a result, all religious princes had no possibility of joining the anti-Marin alliance, and Frederick III was immediately embarrassed.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp even more embarrassing Frederick III is the last sentence-don't be fooled and instigated by irrelevant people, make irrational actions ...

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp Who is this "irrelevant person"? Clearly, it means Frederick III ...

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp At this time, Protestantism has not yet appeared. The Pope is the supreme leader in the spiritual field of Europe. The Pope alluded to it as an "irrelevant person", which greatly damaged the prestige of Frederick III.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp And in the secular princes, in addition to those nobles who had been opted to oppose the joint dispatch of troops, many nobles who were still hesitant, after learning the content of the Pope's decree, chose to receive the bribe of Kohler Then join the Anti-Marin League. They are just princes and nobles, but they dare not go against the Holy See. At that time, Henry IV, as Emperor Shenluo, had to kneel down and ask the Pope for forgiveness after being punished. Where do they dare to fight against the Pope as ordinary princes? So, they saw that the situation was wrong, they flashed decisively ... And, before flashing, they took the opportunity to collect Kohler's money ...

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp In the end, there were more than a dozen nobles, that is, the **** of Frederick III, who chose to continue to die hard, and followed Frederick III all the way to the black.

The three hundred cavalry sent by Marin to Worms arrived at Worms, and gave the content of the notice and leaflet written by Marin to Kohler. However, before waiting for Kohler to take action, it was because of the decree of Pope Julius II that the direction of Worms had drastically changed. Frederick III suddenly became helpless, and it seemed that there was no need to post notices and distribute leaflets to defeat Frederick III. Because, doing so, although it will achieve a certain effect, it is also easy to arouse the aversion of many nobles. After all, attacking a top German nobleman with such great fanfare will surely dissatisfy many noblemen. They may not stand on the side of Frederick III, but they are certainly very dissatisfied with this method of attacking a large noble by distributing leaflets. Because, this greatly challenges the authority of the nobility ...

After careful consideration, Kohler believes that since the Pope's master has already shot and the victory has been determined, this more drastic method is still not used, so as not to cause the nobles to rebound.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp In fact, after sending the men, Marin also regretted it. After all, this is a feudal era. This kind of poster to defame a large nobility was definitely an act of breaking the rules in the early 16th century, and it was easy to arouse those aristocrats who were lawful. So, having figured this out, Marin sent someone to quickly whip to Worms, wanting Kohler to stop the act of posting notices and handing out leaflets. It's a pity that Marin's sending time is still late. Fortunately, Kohler was cautious and did not implement Marin's plan in time. When Marin's messenger arrived, he was relieved when he learned that Kohler had not carried out that radical plan.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp In fact, although Marin canceled the blatant behavior of posting notices and handing out leaflets, he still intended to send people to spread "inside information" in the tavern, to spread rumors and truth, and to attack Frederick III's attack. .

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp But after learning that the Pope ’s decree had settled most of the nobles of Worms, this method of spreading rumors was also directly abandoned. Now that the problem has been solved, what else do you risk using methods that can't get on the countertop?

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp ...

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbspThe decree of Pope Julius II ~ www.novelhall.com ~ helped Marin solve a big trouble. At the same time, it also brought great humiliation to Marin's opponent Frederick III, making Frederick III almost a joke.

In the decree of Pope & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp, the "irrelevant person" almost defined Frederick III as "a villain who jumped up and down and worked hard" ... This made Frederick III's prestige suffered a huge blow ... …

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp From that moment, Frederick III had in his heart the idea of ​​wanting to interact with the Catholic Church ...

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbspAlthough history has changed, Frederick III still had the idea of ​​opposing the Catholic Church. And, earlier than it was in history. When Marin later sent Martin Luther to Wittenberg, he quickly joined forces with Frederick III. Then Martin Luther became the leader of the Reformation. And Frederick III is still behind the hands of Martin Luther and the most important supporter ... but this time, a lot earlier than the original history ...
